That is a great find the Bro. Blake. Looks like to me we have some base of what it should be.

Art. 172 ...The Grand Secretary shall forward to the Secretary of each Constituent Lodge five (5) copies of such proposed Resolutions to be distributed by the Worshipful Master of the Lodge. (Revised 1998)

You are right. These are great questions to have and so far no one has really answered any of the ones we have. I also don't know if this year's per capita funds next and so forth. It is not as fluid as a simple form 71 is it? As far as the Wardens Retreat those are BIG money makers and I wonder...

My lodge produces a newsletter that far exceeds the Texas Mason at no cost to the Lodge to do it electronically. There are so many free publication software programs. If a Brother chooses to have it in paper form then a subscription could be purcahsed. If I knew that $10 of a $20 a year...

That's not true. Keep saying the sentence that you are speaking of and it allows you to do so if it is legal or lawful. However it is your choice if you would purchase or own one.

That is good James. I got a little chuckle out of it.

The term "sound" is a word that describes the energy created. We made the word but that doesn't eliminate the fact that the energy is produced.

That is what I think is causing more people to question the decisions coming out of Waco. It is not Us vs. Them. It is US wanting to know what is going on and that everything has been properly researched and an educated recommendation is made. This is why it is important for us to ask questions...

What if it was presented diffrently to make it to where Brethren didn't doze off? What if the JW did scenarios and had some of the members discuss how to properly handle the situation then give them how it should be handled as per the Law. That would give people an engagement activity and an...

One thing I love is going to a new hole in the wall resturant when I travel. Problem is they are hard to find. So I want to start this thread for everyone to post their favorite little fajita place or the best burger joint in their city. To keep it simple try posting in this format...

I have heard the same. In order for it to pay out it has to be over $100 a share. Every month you secretary gets a list showing your endowed members and how much it is a "unit" for every $100 put in you are able to purchase a unit. So if your Lodge endowment is $500 then you will purchase 5...

I do know it. Sound is a wave of energy that is produced. It can be measured and recorded. Just becuase a human is not there to witness it a recording device could. The energy is still produced when a tree falls that does not go a way.

I look at this as my generation's civil rights movement. 40 years ago it was immoral for a black person to sit near a white person or drink from the same fountain and this is no different. It is going to take a few federal court cases and this will be all behind us. Many people will not agree...

Intresting :18:

I think good and evil are perspective. This is like "does a tree make a sound when it falls in the forest with no one around to hear it?" question. Well of course it does. I was watching a show this last week about black holes and they were saying that they are beginning to think that at the...

Don't we get a copy of the recomendations with the resolutions in Oct. usually Bill? I remember getting 3 books last year or all the resolutions and I don't think there were any recommendations last year by David Counts. I remember this because the Law book states the Grand Secretary should give...

Mod Note: This is a spin off from the Can Non-Christians go to Heaven Thread. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite posts. When I first read this it was my belief that 'yes non-Christians and Christians could be admitted into heaven' then after reading a few posts it dawned on me...

Got this in email. Thought is was pretty clever so I would post it here. I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam. I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books. I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals...

We have stepped up the bar at our lodge and it is "understood" that if you want a senior officer role you can open and close all 3 lodges, call it down, open and close a lodge of sorrow, and confer at least one degree. We are in our second year of doing this and most I for one have been working...
